It's a gray day in Johnston SC.

We may have thundershowers this afternoon. Am told they will be sporadic and may miss some of us while drenching others.

It is 64 degrees as I type this.

DR Ron Pulliam, since you liked Persuasion, I wonder if you've seen any of the BBC's productions of Emma? I like the Kate Beckinsale (1996) and Romala Garai-Jonny Lee Miller (2009)productions the best. I'm not very happy with the Gwyneth Paltrow prettified edition; it reminds me of the MGM Laurence Olivier-Greer Garson Pride and Prejudice.

I love the "Emma" film with Romola Garai, Jonny Lee Miller and Rupert Evans, with Michael Gambon as Emma's father.

I have seen the 2020 version with Anya Taylor-Joy, Johnny Flynn and Callum Turner, with Bill Nighy as Emma's father. This is a good version, but the lead actress just doesn't do the role justice. After seeing Garai as Emma, Taylor-Joy seems a bit of joke. I don't believe for a second that either of the principal young male leads would have been captivated by her.

I remember seeing and liking, but not loving, the Paltrow film.

I've not seen the Beckinsale version.

Not superstititous here, but still cautious.

Ditto, but not so ditto.

DR Ron, occasionally when I get lab work done I am complimented for being well hydrated. Aside from that nothing has been said to me. I just know to drink water as it makes sense to do so, and from my own research.

Jane · « **Reply #47 on:** May 13, 2022, 09:07:49 AM »

Thank you George. I hope to make a reservation someplace for tomorrow. I really only wanted to go to this restaurant. Keith vetoed my second choice.

DR George:

Quote

Her feelings about refusing came from learning that some vaccines were developed from aborted fetus cells in the 1980s (and her religious beliefs are that life begins at conception), but the vaccines now have no fetus cells at all, so she was able to make the decision to get the vaccine.

The lies people have told horrible, yet people got off due to religious beliefs that were also a lie

My hip/sciatica pain levels have decreased considerably, and I am hopeful for full recovery in the future.

My appointment with physical therapy is on the 20th.

Excellent news.

I received my test results which means I won't have to give more blood. I would like to think the results are so bad because the quality of my blood was compromised.

I was supposed to have ushered Sunday for Justin Hayward of The Moody Blues. Just found out it was canceled.

Okay, so what are your favorite versions of Pride and Prejudice?

I place Elmore’s disliked MGM version second to the top, after the Jennifer Erle-Colin Firth version.

I place the musical First Impressions at the bottom.

BTW, the new book I’m reading, The People of Bloomington, by Budi Darma, was inspired by Austen’s P&P.
